This is my first article on mouthsut.com. I was actually shocked to see so much hatred against ebay.in. Not sure why so many of you are complaining. I have cracked the best details in my life through ebay....bought at least 3 mobiles, 10-12 portable HDDs (for myself and friends), netbook, USB drives, sports equipment....etc. Lots of stuff over the past few years....The great thing is that I've not had a single faulty product till now!!!....
Lot of Indian consumers are amateurs in online buying and selling. If you are little careful, you can get best possible deals on ebay...Few things which have worked for me...
- Only buy from a seller whose rating is 97% or more...- read description carefully and then purchase the product (if the product you receive does not match the description you are entitled for refund.)- always use paisapay-verify the price along with shipping costs
Above things have ensured that I've never got a bad deal on ebay.in. Out of some 70 odd transactions I've done, only once did I get a faulty product. The seller sent me a wrong product which did not match the description. I lodged a complaint with ebay and got my entire money refunded (barring some Rs.50 for processing).
The daily steals and deals of the week are generally nice. You get really good deals a lot of times. You get an awesome price for the product and doorstep delivery for free. it cant get better.
Most of the times people direct their frustration towards ebay for a faulty product which is not right. Ebay is NOT SELLING the product. It has just created a platform for you to buy and sell. Its the sellers usually who are the culprits.
I always use paisapay because it gives me buyer protection. With this I'm always assured that I will not lose money to fraudsters.
Last but not the least, discount coupons in ebay are awesome :) Although off late the coupons have become user specific, once in a while we do get good offers like monsoon offers, diwali coupons etc. I bought a netbook recently for an awesome price and on top of it there was a monsoon deal going on and I got a 160 portable hdd which made the deal even more sweeter :)
In short...ebay.in rocks....you just need to be a littler careful while selecting the right deal for you.
